The Loadout Room
Professional Gear Reviews
For me personally, book reviews are generally more difficult to write up. Maybe it’s just because it’s not as sexy as a suppressed short barreled rifle or high-speed piece of tactical gear. Not the case AT ALL with Nick Koumalatsos’s new book, Excommunicated Warrior. Through this book, Nick covers the 7 stages of transition when leaving […]
A few things in this photo that I quickly noticed were the snacks (Pop Tarts & Stinger bars), stripped MRE and baby wipes. You can tell, just from those three items, that this dude has done this a few times. It’s little things like that, that come from real-world experience. Other than the obvious, some […]
We’re at the end of November and many of us are already experiencing the colder weather associated with Fall and Winter. With that comes different outerwear that can deal with the harsher climate. One of the brands I’ve relied on for a while now is Black Diamond. Known for their mountaineering equipment, I never really gave […]

Most notably he always had his Swiss Army Executive pocket knife in his pocket. Used it for everything from picking locks to daily utility […]
In my quest to find tools, knives and other gear that fit my minimalist lifestyle I’ve been through several products in order to find the right one. One of those items is the multi-tool. Both Gerber and Leatherman are the leading manufactures and I’ve carried multi-tools from both in the past. In the past, they have always […]
Not every encounter or engagement is going to be a static target 25 yards away. Most attacks happen within what’s called the combative bubble. If you were to draw a circle around yourself that was 7 yards from your centerline, that is your combative bubble. Anything that happens within this 7 yards will more likely […]
A watch is an ultimate way to finish off your look. I own both the Auto Pilot and Valor from NFW and they are nothing short of rugged, dependable and bad-ass. NFW is a smaller American owned and operated business with a great reputation and mission statement. Save 25% Off All “Block” Models. Code: Block25 A big block of […]
Recently Bill Rapier of AMTAC Shooting has been posting some photos of an interesting knife and sheath combination.
